Intel bought Mobileye in 2017, and now they are advancing the development of autonomous driving technology and driver-assist systems. Their innovations include software and computer chips as well as collision avoidance devices. MobilEye created Riad, a prototype for self-driving cars. Intel plans on using the technology in its own vehicles. These technologies can help to advance transportation's future. Continue reading to find more.
Intel acquired Mobileye 2017
Intel recently acquired Mobileye, a company that specializes in digital vision technology, a critical component of self-driving cars. This acquisition strengthens Intel's efforts expand its portfolio to include services for autonomous vehicle. Intel hopes to appeal also to automakers that don't have the in-house expertise required in this area and are dependent upon Google and other third parties to provide these services.
Mobileye acquires software to enable autonomous vehicles. EyeQ is a system-on-chip that processes vision without compromising on performance. It has already been awarded contracts by 27 carmakers. With this acquisition, Mobileye's capabilities will expand beyond automobiles and into a wider range of industries. Intel's investment in Mobileye will allow it to further expand its product portfolio and focus on business-to-business applications.
MobilEye provides collision avoidance technology
Mobileye, a major manufacturer of collision avoidance system, employs a sophisticated vision detector to detect threats. The system continually measures distances of objects relative to each other in order calculate the chance of collision. Many leading automotive manufacturers have chosen Mobileye as the world's leading collision avoidance technology. Here are some benefits of the MobilEye system. Let's see why it's so valuable.
This technology uses telematics and artificial intelligence to alert drivers when there are potential collisions. It constantly scans the road ahead to identify potential dangers like cyclists and pedestrians. The system warns drivers by sending out audio and visual warnings, before they cause an accident. Moreover, it works in all kinds of weather, including nighttime. This technology can detect obstacles in real-time, so drivers don't have to rely solely on their car's odometer for information about what to expect in future.
EyeQ, a custom accelerator processor chips
Mobileye's EyeQ-family of system on-chips gives you processing power to perform ADAS functions. EyeQs support both fully and semi-autonomous drive and can be used for single or dual-camera sensor applications. They have the bandwidth to process Lidars, radars, and surround cameras. EyeQ processors are made using TSMC technology. They are also compatible with the most recent operating systems such as Windows 10.
Mobileye's EyeQ forms the foundation of its technological leadership. EyeQ's scalable and high-performance accelerator architecture is capable of providing state-of the-art computer vision performance. EyeQ Ultra will become automotive-grade in 2025. The EyeQ Ultra includes EyeQ6L, EyeQ6H. Its powerful architecture will drive a new era in mobility, and a higher level of safety is possible.
MobilEye created Riad, a prototype that can drive itself.
MobilEye’s prototype is a far cry than the autonomous vehicles that are now available in many cities all over the world. This technology requires the driver to actively participate in many aspects. But, the company developed a prototype which can navigate through difficult environments with very little human input. It can negotiate with pedestrians as well as jaywalkers, and it can make 180-degree turns at multiple intersections.
The company is planning to build an entire auto stack and test each component before combining them. The goal is to have a commercial fleet of self-driving vehicles in three major cities by the end of 2022. The prototype self driving vehicle from the company can travel safely over four million miles per year. It can detect pedestrians in advance of a collision and adjust its course accordingly.
FAQ
Does it matter what college I go to?
No, not really. There is no difference between colleges in terms of how to get into the automobile industry. But, there are better programs at some schools than others. Look elsewhere if you want something more niche.
How long does it take you to become a great mechanic?
To become a skilled mechanic, you need years of experience and practice. Working under the guidance of a professional mechanic is the best way to learn how repair cars.
You will have to spend time in a garage learning about cars and mechanics. You will need to read books on mechanical engineering and car design.
And you'll also need to attend auto school.
The most important thing is to start early. You don't have to wait until you are older to start studying automotive technology. Start studying automotive technology now to become a mechanic.
How long is an apprenticeship for an automotive mechanic?
A three-year apprenticeship in automotive mechanics takes. This includes two year at school as well as two years as an apprenticeship. The first year is spent learning all aspects of the trade, including theory, practical skills, and safety procedures. This year, you will also learn how to safely and efficiently use tools. After the completion of the first year, you will spend another year on the job training. Here you'll gain valuable experience in different trades. These are also the times you can attend formal courses.
The final year is dedicated to earning certifications and qualifications in the field. These include NVQs. They are awarded after passing exams on specific topics within the industry. The HNCs (Higher National Certificates), on the other hand, cover general subjects like customer service and management. For those interested in pursuing certain trades, City & Guilds certificates are available.
Statistics
- Apprentice mechanics earn significantly less hourly than mechanics who have completed training, with a median wage of approximately $14.50 an hour, according to PayScale. (jobhero.com)
- According to the BLS, the median annual salary for automotive service technicians and mechanics in the United States was $44,050 in May 2020. (uti.edu)
- According to the BLS, total auto technician employment is expected to exceed 705,000 by 2030. (uti.edu)

How To
How to get a mechanic certification
The mechanic's certifications are designed for people who want to become certified as professional automotive technicians. They provide an overview of all areas of auto repair, including engine diagnostics, electrical systems, brakes, suspension, steering, fuel injection, air conditioning, heating, exhaust, transmission, diagnostic tools, body repairs, collision damage repair, collision repair, paintless dent removal, motor vehicle emissions testing, and much more.
The program is composed of 12 hours classroom instruction and three month's on-the-job training at participating dealers. The semester must include at least 60 hours of classroom instruction and passing a written exam that includes theory and practice questions. After completing the coursework, students can take the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence’s (ASE) state examination. To be employed as an automotive service technician, you must have ASE certification.
